Rajpal Yadav Makes Claims of Massive Branding and Film Deals During Press Conference

Yadav provided an expansive view of his upcoming professional commitments, suggesting that his commercial value has reached an all-time high. He claimed that his schedule for the next several years is booked with high-value contracts.

"I have work worth INR 1,200 crore lined up for the next seven years through branding and films," Yadav told reporters. "I currently have 10 films in my kitty. Some projects are worth INR 200 crore, and others are even part of INR 2,000 crore ventures."

The actor further emphasised the scale of his operations, claiming to have a network involving 7,000 vehicles and a massive workforce. He framed these figures as proof that he is more than capable of settling his debts if given the appropriate time.

Allegations of Extortion and Ego Clashes

The actor and his legal team characterised the long-standing dispute with businessman Madhav Gopal Agarwal as a personal vendetta rather than a simple financial disagreement. Yadav alleged that the complainant’s demands had escalated far beyond the original loan amount.

"This is an ego clash. They told me, 'If you don't give us INR 10.40 crore, we will sell every inch of you,'" Yadav claimed. "They don't want the money; they want to see me fall at their feet. I have been ready to pay since 2013, but they have rejected my settlement offers, including property worth INR 15 crore."

Yadav described the initial 2010 agreement for his film Ata Pata Laapata as a "family-like" deal where he signed documents in good faith without legal oversight.

Public Support and Social Media Contributions

In an emotional segment of the briefing, Yadav thanked his fans for their financial and moral support during his incarceration. He revealed that a significant amount of money was raised through social media to help him meet court-mandated deposits.

"I have received INR 1 crore from my social media family and even from children who gave their 'gullaks' (piggy banks). I am deeply moved by this sympathy," he said. He pledged to return every rupee to his supporters once his financial fluidity is restored.
